Eric Gibbons

Eric Gibbons is a National Board Certified and dual-certified art educator with more than 30 years of experience as a teacher, author, publisher, and professional-development leader at the local, state, and national levels, including AENJ, NCAEA, and NAEA. He is the author of more than 50 books, including the internationally published "If Picasso" series, available in three languages.

An exhibiting artist since 1988, Gibbons has shown work nationally and internationally, participated in the NYC 9/11 Memorial competition, and received the Geraldine R. Dodge Scholarship for figurative studies. He is the founder of both The Firehouse Gallery of Bordentown and Firehouse Publications. His work has appeared in ARTnews and American Art Collector, and his artwork is included in the Obama White House collection.

Drawing on decades of international travel, teaching, and cultural study, Gibbons recently expanded his writing into historical fiction, bringing the same research-driven, visual storytelling approach that defines his work as an artist and educator.
